Any Idea what could be the reason ?

Thank You

    Hi,

    I'd like to check what is account do you use to open the Iscsi initiator service?

    Can you open it with the administrator account?

    Thanks for your time!
    Best Regards,
    Anne

    SOLVED

    It was due to wrong rights on the System Eventlog.

    Someone changed those rights when enabling Event Forwarding. That wasn't done correctly.
    Changed the rights back to default. The Microsoft iSCSI Initiator Service service starts without problem.

    wevtutil gl SYSTEM
    Must be something like this:
    O:BAG:SYD:(A;;0xf0007;;;SY)(A;;0x7;;;BA)(A;;0x3;;;BO)(A;;0x5;;;SO)(A;;0x1;;;IU)(A;;0x3;;;SU)(A;;0x1;;;S-1-5-3)(A;;0x2;;;S-1-5-33)(A;;0x1;;;S-1-5-32-573)(A;;0x1;;;NS)
